Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult
Costa Mesa, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zoe is a tricolored Mini Australian Shepherd turning 9 on April 20. She’s affectionate, active, and loves cuddles. Zoe is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and in excellent health with recent bloodwork. She’s had consistent vet care, grooming, dental cleanings, and is on monthly flea/heartworm prevention. She does best as the only pet in a home with no cats/dogs but might be fine with another dog if they get along. She’s best in a home with older children, teens and/or adults only. Due to her herding instincts, dog parks are challenging —she’s not aggressive, but her behavior can be misread by other dogs. Zoe needs daily exercise and to be around her owner most of the day, not alone. We’re sadly rehoming Zoe because her energy and herding instincts aren’t the best match for our toddler’s sensitive personality or home environment. We aren’t able to give her the attention and exercise she needs. She’d do wonderfully in an active home with older kids or even a farm!

So far we know he does well with other dogs that are not alpha and that are playful like him And he should go to a low traffic home. Not a lot of people coming in and out.  Unfortunately, we do not know his history to put him with kids or cats.

Story
This is Melodi, she is 2.5 years old and she’s a wonderful dog. She’s house trained, great with other dogs, and loves kids. She loves snuggles and she’s super sweet. We’re only unable to keep her because I can no longer tolerate living with dogs both physically and mentally ever since I got pregnant. We also have moved states and we no longer have a backyard for them. I don’t think it’s fair to Melodi to be cooped up.

Story
Breanna IS AVAILALBE (updated 05-07-2025).To meet any of our dogs you must first complete our online adoption application on our website. For more information and the adoption application for Breanna, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=22826&name=BreannaBreanna&#39s foster recently said that her name should be &#39Bubbles&#39, because she is bubbly and happy all of the time. She is one of the most happy-go-lucky puppies they ever fostered. Breanna is always bouncing around and she absolutely loves other dogs. She doesn&#39t mind cuddling up with her people too. Breanna is super playful, loves her training, and is both praise and treat motivated. She can use a doggy door and she is potty trained. Breanna sleeps in a crate all night long. As long as Breanna has her lamb, she will sleep through the night. She loves her lamb.Breanna is in a foster home with cats. She is being &#39cat trained&#39 by the cats. She has been whacked by them and has become more respectful of them, but she still thinks it is fun to see them run and for her to chase them.Breanna loves to be outside. She actually prefers it. She likes to chill on the deck around the pool but she has not shown any indication that she would like to go in it or go swimming.Background on Breanna: she is one of five puppies that came to Orange County to join the Coastal GSR family. Breanna and her siblings were found in an Orange Grove by a Good Samaritan who brought them to his house. She appears to be a mix of Australian Shepherd and possibly German Shepherd. Breanna would do well in a home where people are around most of the time and will include her in their lives. We recommend that Breanna go to a home that has another playful dog(s) since she enjoys the company of other dogs so much.The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.May 7, 2025, 4:52 pm
